Don't worry about the office. They don't have anything they can't handle. [This is an out and out lie, they both know it, and therefore it holds no real harm.]
So, kindergarten, then we're going to stick with half-day. Consistency wherever possible. My advice, establish a pattern and don't ever deviate. You drop them off at school and you show up promptly to pick them up like clockwork. They're going to be waiting for you to disappear. You can expect to have some problems with adjusting, but I have to figure that's normal. You're not going to be able to replace mom so don't get frustrated when it doesn't happen. Pick one of these nannies that you can trust to get things done around the house.
